A separator suggestion in the dictionary means that a keyword can separated at a desired location. If a line break takes place in a project text, the translated texts, if necessary, are wrapped at the part where the separator suggestion is specified.
Preconditions:
- You have access to a dictionary containing keywords.
- You have opened a dictionary.
- Select the following commands: Tab Tools > Command group Translation > Dictionary.
- Select the Edit words tab.
- In the Source language field, select the language that is used for the keyword in the dictionary.

Example:
Note:
During translation a word division in the source text is only detected when a lower-case letter follows after the hyphen or the word is written completely in upper-case letters. If a word is, for example, divided before an upper-case letter within the word, the word division is not detected while translating and text is searched with a hyphen.
If the word "AutoCorrect" was, for example, separated before the upper-case "C", a search is carried out for "Auto-Correct" in the dictionary instead of the source text "AutoCorrect". This is, for example, sensible for texts such as "Siemens-S7". If there is a line break before "S7", you must not search for the entry "SiemensS7" in the dictionary but for "Siemens-S7", so no word division is detected.
